Landmark projects for governments
Liquefied natural gas and gas monetisation are transforming the energy landscape of Central and West Africa: floating liquefaction units, import terminals, gas-fired power plants, distribution networks. These projects are often the first of their kind in the host country, and the administration must regulate their risks without always having a dedicated framework.
What we bring
- Risk studies specific to cryogenic facilities: gas cloud dispersion, pool fires, confined explosions, rapid phase transitions.
- Consequence modelling for siting, zoning and safety distances.
- Emergency plans covering LNG scenarios and the ship-shore interface.
- Fire safety of terminals and storage areas.
- Support to governments in drafting the regulatory framework applicable to gas facilities.
Sector-specific challenges
- Interface between the vessel, the terminal and onshore facilities.
- Coexistence with port activities and residential areas.
- International standards to transpose (NFPA 59A, EN 1473, IMO codes).
